v2->v3:
* dropped the useless decode/encode/decode chain in decode_rfc1522
* moved try_decode_utf8 to patch 1 as it's now used there
* renamed 'encode_user_stat' to 'user_stat_to_perlstring' as this is what
the helper actually does
* the 2 patches for pmg-gui make it possible to add user black/whitelist
entries for non-ascii e-mails
* quickly re-verified that pmgpolicy should be robust for smtputf8 mail
(postfix hands the data over as utf-8 - and pmgpolicy does not parse it
Thanks again to Dominik for the off-list suggestions!
original cover-letter for v2:
v1->v2:
* dropped already applied patches
* added a patch for one further glitch in ModField/Notify actions (when
parsing/replacing non-ascii characters) - patch 1/5+2/5
* added support for utf-8 data in the mailflow additionally for:
** quarantine API handlng
** user BL/WL (the GUI still needs adaptation to parse e-mail-addresses
more liberally - but else it seems to work)
** pmgqm (spamreports)
** statistics
still missing support for:
* LDAP
* Who Objects
huge thanks to Dominik for taking the time to review and test the v1!
original cover-letter for v1:
this patchseries partially fixes #2465 and #2541, two quite often reported
issues, which are causing quite a disappointing experience for users
in non-ascii only environments
the main assumption of the patches are:
* envelope addresses are either ascii or utf-8 (latter only with smtputf8)
* thus we can unconditionally de-/encode envelope addresses for database
results/lookups
* the matching in the rule-objects will see the relevant parts of the mail
as properly encoded perl-strings (with multi-byte characters - e.g. the
euro sign as \x{20ac} instead of \x{e2}\x{82}\x{ac})
(I did a bit of testing to verify them, by e.g. sending an ISO-8859-1
encoded mail and matching for an umlaut in the subject)
While going through the RuleDB classes I remembered, that we have a few
pieces of legacy objects (Attach, ReportSpam, Counter actions) there, and
went ahead with deprecating them (initially I simply deleted them, but
decided to be more cautious and just log the deprecation until 8.0, when
we can drop them explicitly). They cannot be instantiated currently (short
of a direct insert into the database) - but I don't know if they were ever
used in pre 5.0 times in their current form. - patch 2/5.
Out of scope of the series for now:
* utf-8 support in the LDAP subsystem (deployments with a configured LDAP
profile still won't be able to process smtputf8 mails) - mostly until I
get around to create test-environment with the appropriate schema for
having non-ascii mail-addresses
* Domain/Email objects - did not find the time to consider how to store
them most sensibly (puny-code, utf-8) and if the choice should be
carried over to all of our 'email' formats (it probably shouldn't)
patches 1/5 and 4/5 address 2 small bugs I ran into while testing
Given that I quite often miss a few fine points or use-cases I'd be very
grateful for some more experimenting/testing!
